My son used to say that he wanted to be an astronaut when he grew up. Then one day, he told me, “I prefer not to be an astronaut when I grow up, because every evening, I would return from work very, very late.”

In the past when I have talked to my son about occupations, he said he wanted to be a professional athlete. But one day he said to me, “Mom, I know what I want to be when I grow up!” When I asked him what he had decided on, he smiled brightly and said, “A taxi driver, so I can travel the world.”
